Double jeopardy is a legal defense which, after a clear acquittal or conviction, does not preclude an accused person from being charged on the same charge again.

Explanation:

The Fifth Amendment to the Constitution states that "no one is twice liable to be targeted at the same offense." The Double-jeopardy Clause bars any second prosecution or conviction and forbids multiple penalties of the same offense.

Double jeopardy does not shield suspects from being charged for multiple offenses, while separate charges are prohibited for the same crime.

For example, An convicted person could again be charged on the "less included crime" of involuntary killing.
